Don't get me wrong, it's always good to have your girls. But having guys as your best friends is truly the greatest thing ever for these reasons and many many more.

1. ADVICE ADVICE ADVICE

Who better to get guy advice from than an actual guy? And vice versa! Doesn't it just make you feel a little better knowing that there are guys out there who are getting their girl advice from someone who knows what they're talking about?

2. You never have to eat alone

Secondly, they are always and I mean ALWAYS down to get food. Any time, day or night, I can guarantee if you send a text in the group chat asking anyone if they're hungry, someone is.

3. They're usually down to sit around and do nothing (aka play Fortnite)

Sometimes you're just not in the mood to go to the mall or the movies or really do anything at all. Good thing you can hit up one of the guys and sit around and play Fortnite (or observe Fortnite). Or just sit around and do absolutely nothing.

4. Substantially less drama

Yes boys have feelings, but they sure are a hell of a lot less dramatic about showing them. This one may just be me but I am not a big "feelings" type of person. Sometimes it's just nice to have someone who hates talking about their emotions and loves avoiding drama just as much as you do.

5. Being "one of the boys"

I know I know, being "one of the boys" is a bad thing right? WRONG!!! I couldn't be more grateful to have the group of guys that I have as my friends. Nothing makes me laugh harder than half the nonsense that comes out of their mouths. Yes, sometimes you do have to remind them that you are indeed still a girl and some things they really should just keep between the guys, but most of the time, being "one of the boys" is pretty great.

6. They call you out on your shit

Arguably the greatest thing about being close with a group of guys is there's no beating around the bush when it comes to your best interest. They are truly looking out for you when they tell you not to go for that guy or that you're being overdramatic in a fight with your friend. Yes sometimes they can be harsh but they usually end up giving pretty sound advice.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
